Learning Targets
• Answer research questions by gathering and evaluating information from multiple sources, generating additional questions, and developing an annotated bibliography.
• Orally present claims, relevant facts, and details in a coherent manner.
1. In a later activity, you will be comparing text to film versions of Invictus. Look at the list of background topics below. Mark each as follows:
• Put a question mark (?) next to subjects you have never heard of.
• Put an asterisk (*) next to subjects you know something about.
• Put an exclamation point (!) next to subjects you find interesting.

2. Follow your teacher’s instructions to form a research group of two-three students and choose a topic or topics. On paper, create an individual KWHL chart and complete the first two columns by recording prior knowledge and generating research questions.
3. Collaborate with your research group to identify at least one different research question for each group member. In the “H” column of your KWHL chart, list search terms that you might use and types of sources that you might find online to answer your question(s).
4. Use the Internet Source Evaluation Chart on the following page to evaluate three different sources that might answer your question(s). A “yes” answer to many of the questions indicates that your source has a high degree of reliability and is a good source.
5. Choose the best source, based on the results of your evaluation. Copy the web address (URL) here:
